Project Management Excellence

The project was a full rewrite of MidwestGlazing.com and Informatics was up to the task. Their staff was excellent to work with and they really seemed to grasp what we were trying to accomplish. I was most impressed with their project management life-cycle, it was well laid out and documented and accommodated the inevitable changes that happen during the course of any project. With this defined process we were able to launch a great site while staying on budget.

We have received professional service and opportunities to make efficient updates on the site.

"We frequently hear promises of “partnership” and quick, courteous customer service from commercial vendors when they are luring us to their business. Too often, it’s clear within the first year that it was an empty promise. That has never been the case with Informatics. The Brucemore website is lauded by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of the models for historic sites, and it continues to be user-friendly, visually appealing, and an effective marketing tool. Throughout our partnership with Informatics, we have received professional service and opportunities to make efficient updates on the site without cumbersome procedures and delays. During the flood of 2008 and the long recovery, Informatics did everything right to maintain its level of service and products for its customers, despite being displaced. Clearly, the ethics of Informatics are shaped by the community-minded spirit of the owners, and we are proud to be associated with the company."

I can’t imagine finding a better web partner.

Our company’s website was in dire need of replacement. The experts at Informatics guided us through the concept development, design, implementation, launch and “tweak” processes necessary for a new website. Their knowledge of web “best practices” have served us well in developing a user friendly and content rich website. In our “Members Only” section, there are technically complex areas in which their developers listened to our client needs and adjusted the data to fit their desire. Informatics is a great team in which to collaborate with. I can’t imagine finding a better web partner. Thanks Informatics!

Our website is the first impression that our company has

As a start-up company working on a revolutionary new technology, our biggest need upfront with the outside world is to communicate credibility with them. We very much need to show that our company is well thought out, organized, and on track to be a very desirable investing opportunity and technical partner.

Our website is the first impression that our company has to the outside world and it's of the highest importance that the first impression be a great one. The Informatics team helped is build an online presence that immediately establishes credibility, highlights our technology, and puts us in a position to succeed.

We could not be happier with the the experience we have had working with Informatics.

"When we chose Informatics to redesign a new website for the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art we set an ambitious goal for monthly web site visits. That goal has been exceeded by more than double every month since the launch eight months ago. We could not be happier with the the experience we have had working with Informatics."

Committed. Creative, Cooperative

I very much enjoyed the interaction with the Informatics team. They are a committed, creative and cooperative website partner.

They’re affordable; efficient; brilliantly organized and have more than “delivered the goods”.

"Our various media companies have used a number of web engineering firms in California, New York, Massachusetts, and even one in London and while all have done serviceable work, we often found our working relationship damaged by certain issues which we came to expect as the price one pays for dealing with “technologists”. Most of these barriers to effective partnering involved either communications (the overuse of IT jargon); failure to deliver on time and on budget; and processes and systems that failed to track project progress in an orderly and understandable fashion.

I’m happy to report that we have had none of those issues with Informatics. They’re affordable; efficient; brilliantly organized and have more than “delivered the goods” on design; programming a very complex interactive E commerce application; and developing a sound traffic building plan. We were/are so impressed that we shifted existing turnkey web services for one of our larger companies from a larger, better known supplier to Informatics’ care, confident that they would again deliver on time and on budget. And they did!

I’m not normally much of a testimonial “contributor”, but Informatics has earned our trust, and our business, and will, I’m certain, bend every effort to earn yours."

On Time and On Budget

After spending months of working with another Web development company and getting nowhere, Informatics took over my project and re-built our site from the ground up. The site they designed was more advanced but more intuitive for the user. And, it was on time and on budget.

Website Accessibility

I am totally blind, and use screen reading speech software to access the Internet. I have been browsing the site for Foundation 2, an organization here in Cedar Rapids, and it says you are the designer of their website. I would like to thank you for making both their, and your own, website completely accessible with my screen reading software. Many site developers do not give a thought to accessibility to blind or visually impaired users when building sites for companies, and it is refreshing to find one that does. I express my deepest appreciation for this.

I also appreciate the option to use an audio code when solving the captcha require to submit my original comments. Many sites do not have an audio code option at all, and often those that do use audio that is incredibly distorted. I realize they think this is for security, but it still makes the captcha as unsolvable as if no audio code existed. Your audio option is very clear, simple, and easy to use. Again, my thanks for this feature as well.

Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival has been indeed fortunate to team with Informatics, Inc.

"Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival has been indeed fortunate to team with Informatics, Inc. to provide Festival patrons with a broad spectrum of event, program and schedule information. The Informatics team listened as the festival staff defined our needs, and the developed an outstanding web design geared for the immediate year's festival - as well as growth in capabilities in future years. As we requested various refinements to accommodate the Festival's unique event and program offerings and fee structures, the Informatics team responded with speed, efficiency and pleasantness. The resulting website was extensively used by Festival patrons, vendors, event management teams, and other individuals for Freedom Festival 2006, and received high marks for comprehensiveness and ease of use. Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival values very high our relationship with Informatics, Inc. and is pleased to recommend their expertise to anyone."

We are deeply grateful to Informatics for their commitment to keeping the Linn County web site up and running during the flood event

"We are deeply grateful to Informatics for their commitment to keeping the Linn County web site up and running during the flood event and afterwards. Our ability to keep in communication with the community helped to ensure people’s safety. No one could have imagined the challenges that would come from the rising flood waters. Our goal was and remains to ensure the public’s safety. We appreciate all of our partners during this devastating event."

It's easier and more efficient to place their orders online.

"With our new website, we are finding that many of our customers who, in the past, may have called us to place their orders now find it easier and more efficient to place their orders online, which in turn has allowed our employees to spend less time on the phone and more time focusing on other aspects of customer service.

In addition, because our new website is so user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing, our customers are taking the time to explore and learn about our entire product selection instead of purchasing only those products they have ordered from us previously.

Finally, our new website is one of the primary marketing tools we are using to attract new customers, especially younger eye care professionals who are likely to use the web as their first resource when looking for the products they need."

Exceptional service and flexibility!

I highly recommend Informatics to any company.

"As Executive Director of Iowa City/Coralville Convention and Visitors Bureau, I have had the opportunity to use the services of Informatics for several websites such as: culturalcorridor.org , iowacitycoralville.org , herkyonparade.com , communitygiftcertificate.org , heartofthesaints.com, hawkeyechopper.com and iowa-sports.com .

For the ICCCVB site, we were looking for a way to use web-based technology to connection with our membership. Informatics developed a database driven site that has completely enhanced the way we do business.

I highly recommend Informatics to any company looking to build a web site or develop web-based software applications."

I would recommend Informatics to anyone that wants a site that will stand above the noise of the internet!"

"As a brand new start-up company with no market presence at all (web or otherwise) we were not sure who to turn to for our web needs. We needed a variety of elements including e-commerce, social networking, affiliate marketing, philanthropy and overall marketing. After considering several options from doing it ourselves with an off the shelf package to vendors who produced canned products to a fully customized solution. After a few meetings with Informatics, we knew that they “got it” in terms of our needs. They asked the best questions up front. They then produced a 100 plus page technical document. Our choice of Informatics was confirmed when we saw their first attempt at our website design. They nailed it!

I would recommend Informatics to anyone that wants a site that will stand above the noise of the internet!"

Our experience with Informatics has been fabulous!

"Our experience with Informatics has been fabulous! Working with the developers is easy. After the initial consultation, we were off and running on development with a user friendly website to upload information. The development staff are incredibly professional and highly responsive to needs. Many of our partner agencies had used Informatics for their website development, therefore we had confidence that our agency and dollars were in good hands. Informatics did not disappoint, and as a non-profit with a limited budget, trust, flexibility, and options are essential. Our website is more than we could have hoped for! Now, officially a part of the information age, Willis Dady Emergency Shelter is readily available to volunteers, donors, and community partners that wish to enhance our mission to serve the homeless. Already we are hearing from donors and volunteers who have familiarized themselves with our website and have left with a better understanding of who we are, what we do, and who we serve. Thank you Informatics!"
